Fire Magic 23745-03 Echelon E790 & E660 (Pre 2021) Lid Spring Kit

What Problem This Part Solves

The Echelon E790 and E660 have substantial stainless steel oven hoods. The factory spring system assists with the hood's weight during normal opening and closing.

As the original spring assembly wears or becomes damaged, you may notice:

• Hood feels significantly heavier to lift
• Reduced spring assistance
• Rough or uneven hood movement
• Broken or damaged spring components
• Increased effort required to raise the lid
• Hood no longer opens as smoothly as it once did

Replacing the worn assembly with Fire Magic 23745-03 restores the intended spring assistance on compatible pre-2021 E790 and E660 grills. Current parts sellers continue to identify it specifically as the replacement hood spring kit for these two pre-2021 models.

Fits most grills within this series—confirm model number and production year before ordering.

Important: Pre-2021 vs. Current E790/E660

The production year matters with this part.

• 23745-03 – Lid Spring Kit for Echelon E790 & E660 – Pre-2021
• 23745-11 – Current Oven Hood Spring Kit for Echelon E790 & E660, as well as current Aurora A790/A660 applications

Fire Magic's current service documentation lists 23745-11 for current E660 and E790 grills, while its replacement-parts catalog retains 23745-03 specifically for pre-2021 E79/E66 models.

This distinction is important—23745-11 should not automatically be substituted for 23745-03 on an older Echelon grill.

Installation / Use Instructions

1. Turn off the grill's gas supply and allow the grill and hood to cool completely.
2. Securely support the grill hood before removing any spring hardware. The hood is heavy and the spring assembly may be under significant tension.
3. Remove the original spring components and install the 23745-03 kit in the corresponding factory mounting positions. Carefully test hood operation after installation.

Caution: Hood springs store mechanical energy. Keep hands and fingers clear of pinch points and always support the hood during service. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with spring-loaded grill hood assemblies.
